Stone Perspective
by Sean Bagshaw
Sandstone is nature's art medium. Formed in layers and sculpted by the elements, it comes in every shape and color. In the Vermilion Cliffs of southern Utah and northern Arizona, ancient winds created large sand dunes of alternating layers. Gravity and water caused them to flow and bend, creating swirls and folds like cream in coffee. The dunes eventually petrified. Now the forces of erosion are revealing the amazing patterns hidden within.
Equipment: Canon EOS 5D MKII, Canon EF 16-35mm L lens, B&W circular polarizer, Gitzo carbon tripod, Really Right Stuff ballhead

I'm a full time pro from Ashland, Oregon. You can visit my website if you want to delve into my curriculum vitae and other spray. I'll just say that I'm a big proponent of nature photography as art. I love photographs that take my breath away and get the wheels in my head turning. Every once in a while I managed to take such a photo myself.
